Books
Soooo many. Check out some of the Day Prize nominees/winners- Pop Gun War, Misa, Lackluster World, Owly, Myth of the 8th Opus, Forlorn Funnies, Askari Hodari, etc. Top Shelf Comics has graced the show many a time. Creators who's works are published by Drawn & Quarterly, NBM, Fantagraphics, Oni Press, Alternative Comics, Slave Labor, Top Shelf, etc. which all sport great output.
_Coming from the town that brought you Paul Pope, Jeff Smith and Paul Hornschemier... S.P.A.C.E. is held annually in Columbus, Ohio. Usually falls around mid April to early May. Similar in format to the S.P.X. or M.O.C.C.A., this show only features the creators and (in some cases) the people that publish them. Think of it like an arts fair type vibe except all the exhibitors do their own comics. The show has no dealers, has been tv actors or guys running around in tights. Just comics, the way cons used to be... damn it! The show is a great place to check out what's coming down the pike in the indy comic scene. Buy, sell, trade, network, etc.

+ I'm not Bob. Just a volunteer with the show. I try to reign in a lot of the info Bob has posted on the S.P.A.CE. page for ease of access. This is an unofficial page for the show. For more info go to back porch
++ Several of you have commented on Tom's work. The graphics you see posted here and in the pics are all done by local artist/creator Tom Williams. He's also on myspace and appreciates all the kind words.
Who I'd like to meet:
People who either produce or enjoy self-published comics, and or creator-owned stuff. Mini-comics, 'art comics', zines, anthologies, webcomics, etc.
